While MSG has dominated the 2026 Sankranthi season to take the 8th spot, its performance follows the benchmark set by the previous year's festive blockbusters. Specifically, the 2025 Pongal release, Sankranthiki Vastunnam, continues to hold its ground in the elite list at the 10th position with a first-week collection of ₹137 crore. The fact that both recent Sankranthi/Pongal releases have secured spots in the all-time Top 10 underscores the immense potential of the holiday window for high-budget commercial entertainers. This double entry highlights the massive expansion of the Telugu market and the audience's appetite for commercial entertainers during holidays. As Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu enters its second week, it continues to hold strong, with trade analysts predicting a healthy run that could see it challenge the lifetime totals of several films positioned higher on this list.

Tollywood’s newest sensation Naveen Polishetty has returned to the big screen with his latest outing, Anaganaga Oka Raju (AOR), which hit theaters today, January 14th, amid the festive Sankranthi fervor. Proving once again why he is considered one of the most bankable and entertaining stars today, the Naveen Polishetty wave is visible at the ticket windows as the film records excellent occupancy and surging demand across all territories. The film witnessed a massive surge in advance bookings just hours before the first show. According to trade data, Anaganaga Oka Raju recorded an All-India advance booking gross of ₹2.64 Crore for Day 1. The primary contribution came from Andhra Pradesh, which registered ₹1.18 Crore, followed by Telangana with ₹93 Lakhs and Karnataka with ₹12 Lakhs.

With a collection of 90K for Day1 ,the film has outperformed other active titles including MSG(75K), The Raja Saab(15K)and BMW (14K). This strong start in the US market indicates a potential blockbuster run for Naveen Polishetty in the overseas circuit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   It has been reported that exhibitors are taking unprecedented steps to meet surging audience demand. Following Blockbuster reports and a massive wave of public interest for Anaganaga Oka Raju (AOR), approximately 40 shows in Hyderabad were reportedly shifted from Prabhas's The Raja Saab to AOR starting from today's noon shows. Industry sources cite this as a direct response from theater owners to the intense Naveen Polishetty craze currently sweeping the box office. Adding to the film's revenue potential, the Andhra Pradesh government has granted ticket hikes for a period of 10 days. Single screens are permitted a hike of ₹50/-, while multiplexes can charge an additional ₹75/-, ensuring a healthy recovery for distributors during the holiday window. Initial reviews from early shows describe the film as a Simple Timepass Entertainer. While critics note that the plot is relatively ordinary and the second half feels slightly dragged in the pre-climax, the film is saved by Naveen Polishetty's impeccable comic timing and effective one-liners.Fans are hailing it as a Naveen Polishetty one-man show, with his energy and screen presence carrying the thin plot. Mickey J Meyer's music and the pleasant visuals provide a festive vibe, making it a must-try for families this season. Even as the film begins its theatrical journey, the digital platform has been finalized. Netflix India South has officially announced that Anaganaga Oka Raju will be available for streaming in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada post its theatrical run, further boosting the film's brand value. With the Sankranthi holidays in full swing, Anaganaga Oka Raju is poised to see a massive jump in its evening and night show collections, setting the stage for a highly successful weekend.

Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Pre-Release Business and Break-Even Target

Hyderabad, January 12 - Megastar Chiranjeevi teamed up with director Anil Ravipudi for the first time for a comedy entertainer Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. The film has been building steady buzz, leading to its premiere, where it scored one of the biggest premiere grosses for an Indian film. The buzz for the movie is palpable, which led to big pre-release business worldwide. According to the trade report, the film managed to fetch 105 crore pre-release business in the Telugu states, including 55 crore in Andhra Pradesh and around 50 crores in Telangana. The overall worldwide pre-release theatrical business of the film is in the range of 120 crores, which means the film will need around 225 crores worldwide to break even. This is said to be a reasonable business given how Chiranjeevi's last few films have performed at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) MSVPG will score 1/4 of its total business on its opening day itself, and with positive word of mouth, it can easily recover this over the Sankranthi holiday period and emerge as a clean hit. There is, however, intense competition, especially in Telugu states, with multiple films hitting the big screens at the same time. Sankranthi has been a lucrative period for Telugu movies at the box office, and more often than not, multiple films get released during this period. This year, Prabhas' The Raja Saab (January 9), along with Ravi Teja's Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi (January 13), and family entertainer Anaganaga Oka Raju (January 14), are scheduled.

The Raja Saab Advance Booking: National Chains Yet To Open Bookings In Hindi Amid Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic Show-Sharing Issue

Hyderabad, January 8 - One of the biggest box office clashes of the year, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 and Yash-fronted Toxic have already started intensifying, with over two months still left for their release, which is on March 19. And the victim of this clash is Pan-India superstar Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab. The romantic horror-comedy, directed by Maruthi, is scheduled to hit the big screens tomorrow, January 9, but the full-fledged advance booking in Hindi, especially in national chains, is yet open. As of now, only the single-screen cinemas and independent and smaller chains have begun booking for The Raja Saab. Anil Thadani-backed AA Films is distributing The Raja Saab in Hindi, and according to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the distributors are asking the national chains to give considerable shows to Toxic, which will be distributed by the same distribution house. Only then will these cinemas get to play the Prabhas-starrer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report further stated that the theatre chains haven't agreed to the demand as Toxic clashes with Dhurandhar 2 on March 19. The theatres have earned a huge amount of moolah because of Dhurandhar's first part, which is still running in cinemas. It's a given that Dhurandhar 2 will have an earth-shattering opening. The theatre chains are also aware of the fact that Toxic is also a big film and is expected to do very well in Hindi. But they don't want to make any deal at this point for the film, and especially do not want to short-change Dhurandhar 2. This is where the matter regarding the Raja Saab booking has been stuck. Meanwhile, The Raja Saab has paid premieres today, January 8, from 9:00 pm onwards, and the bookings for the same are robust in Andhra Pradesh, while Telangana pre-sales will start after the government order regarding the ticket price hikes. The film's worldwide pre-sales for the opening day have crossed 30 crores and are headed to finish around 40 crores before the premiere shows start. Stay tuned...

Prabhas' Box Office Juggernaut: Comparing Advance Bookings of the Rebel Star's Last 5 Blockbusters

Prabhas has consistently led high-budget films that command significant attention from the trade, even when commercial results have been mixed. Following the Baahubali franchise, his subsequent projects have often opened to large numbers despite failing to meet long-term recovery targets for distributors. For instance, the 2019 film Saaho grossed over ₹424 crore worldwide but was declared an average performer overall because its earnings did not reach the high threshold required for a hit verdict. Similarly, Radhe Shyam in 2022 saw a worldwide gross of approximately ₹214 crore, which was insufficient to cover its production costs, resulting in a significant theatrical loss. The momentum reached new heights with Adipurush, which, despite controversy, witnessed a thunderous domestic opening of ₹86.75 crore net on its first day, bolstered by an advance booking gross of ₹26.39 crore. This trend of massive pre-sales peaked with the 2024 sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD. Made on a staggering budget of ₹600 crore, Kalki became a global phenomenon, grossing over ₹1,000 crore worldwide and recording a massive ₹61.8 crore in Day 1 advance bookings with block seats. These figures cement Prabhas as a unique force capable of drawing audiences in record numbers across diverse languages and formats. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Prabhas Movies Day 1 Advance Booking Comparison (India Gross)Movie TitleRelease YearAdvance Booking Gross (Day 1)Tickets Sold (Approx.)Kalki 2898 AD2024₹ 55+ Cr2,093,904Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire2023₹ 48.94 Cr2,238,346Adipurush2023₹ 26.39 Cr1,074,247Radhe Shyam2022₹ 23.00 Cr1,100,000The Raja Saab2026₹ 8.62 Cr* (with block seats)164,264Note: Excluding paid premieres Looking at the current trajectory for his upcoming horror-comedy, The Raja Saab, the domestic advance booking gross currently stands at ₹8.62 crore. However, this figure is not directly comparable to his previous outings because bookings in the crucial Telangana market—his primary stronghold—opened significantly late due to legal deliberations regarding ticket price hikes. In contrast, the international response has been explosive; the film has already amassed approximately $1.7 million (₹15.3 crore) in overseas pre-sales. Notably, it has crossed the $1 million mark in North America alone, marking the third consecutive film for Prabhas to achieve this milestone in that region. The prospects for The Raja Saab have received an additional, massive boost following the sudden postponement of Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. This shift in the Sankranti release calendar has allowed exhibitors to redirect hundreds of extra shows and prime screens to Prabhas's film, particularly in overseas markets like the UK and Malaysia. While domestic pre-sales are currently catching up following the regional booking delays, the steady international demand and the reduced competition suggest that The Raja Saab is set for a solid start at the box office this festive season.

The Raja Saab Latest: Can Prabhas Beat His Own Records? Overseas Advance Booking vs Jana Nayagan and Top 5 Career Stats

The global Indian film industry is bracing for the arrival of Rebel Star Prabhas's latest outing, The Raja Saab. Known for his unprecedented box office pull, Prabhas looks to add another feather to his cap with this horror-romantic comedy. However, as the release date approaches, the film is facing intense competition and scrutiny regarding its marketing strategy and advance booking pace. In the international market, the buzz for The Raja Saab appears to be trailing significantly behind the latest sensation, Jana Nayagan. According to the latest pre-sale figures, Jana Nayagan has amassed a staggering 3.90million(approx.₹35crores)in overseas advance bookings. In contrast, The Raja Saab has collected 1.22 million (approx. ₹11 crores) thus far. While $1.22M is a strong number for most actors, for a Prabhas-starrer, the gap between it and Jana Nayagan has become a point of discussion The Raja Saab has been cleared by the CBFC with a U/A certificate. In a recent development, the makers of The Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu have approached the Telangana High Court. The petition seeks permission to implement ticket price hikes across the state, citing the massive production budget involved in bringing these spectacles to life. While official advance bookings in India have not yet opened, fans have expressed concerns over the timing of these legal moves and the overall promotional rollout. Despite being under production for three years and requiring the highest number of call sheets from Prabhas in recent times, the promotional campaign has faced criticism. Social media buzz indicates that fans are disappointed with the last minute nature of the marketing. Key complaints include the delayed release of the Nachenache song (originally expected in late December) and the highly anticipated interview between Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, which many felt should have been released earlier to maximize momentum.
